Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Mental Health Diagnosis and Treatment with Dr. Fred Moss
Q: What would you recommend besides medication for someone feeling overwhelmed?
A range of 20+ practices including listening, meditation, gratitude, nutrition, hydration, creativity, nature, journaling, spirituality, and service, all aimed at restoring balance without immediate reliance on drugs.
Rethinking Mental Health Diagnosis and Treatment with Dr. Fred Moss
Q: Where do you feel medicine fits in therapy, is there room for both?
There is room for both, but Moss emphasizes starting with compassionate listening and other practices; medicine should not be the first or only option for many cases.
Rethinking Mental Health Diagnosis and Treatment with Dr. Fred Moss
Q: psychiatry is a doctor that prescribes psychotropic medication, correct?
Yes, psychiatry involves prescribing medications but the guest argues there should be more emphasis on listening, connection, and non-pharmacological strategies before defaulting to meds.
Life After a Cult and the Journey to Healing with Chris Shelton, Part 2
Q: How did you cope with the immediate aftermath after leaving?
I faced job and relationship challenges, navigated trauma from years of coercive control, and gradually built new communities and a platform to share my experience and help others.
The Connection Between Shame and Anger with Bronwyn Schweigerdt
Q: What role does differentiation play in anger management?
Differentiation involves attaching to yourself rather than seeking approval from others. By giving back the shame and owning your emotions, you can channel anger into assertiveness and healthy boundary-setting, which models healthier behavior for children and improves relationships.
